What books should I read if I want to get a better understanding of people who are not like me? I am a white man and want to be more "woke."
There are only a few people who really understand the scope of the system. You should start with any one of them and build from there. Just a few I can think of:Jean-Jaques RousseauJames BaldwinHoward ZinnAudre LordeSome great authors that can help you distill experiences:Carolyn Ferrell - Don’t Erase MeSherman Alexie - 10 Little IndiansZitkala-Sa - anything she writesSoledad BrotherInvisible ManBaca - Working in the DarkRodriguez - Always RunningJohn Fire Lame Dear - BiographyAlvarez - something to declareDance of the InfidelsAssataThe Country Under my SkinReyitaThe New Jim CrowEric Williams - Capitalism and SlaveryMedical apartheidChasing the ScreamSurvival in AuschwitzBury Me StandingThe Kingdom of This worldBeloved - Toni MorrisonRead the Penguin Text, Early American Writing, and the testimony of Cabeza de Vaca to get more insight on the way the American view of otherness has been shaped.
Was my TB skin test done wrong? Is it invalid?
I got my tb skin test yesterday and I have gotten it before when i was little so i know that it's suppose to have a bubble to indicate from. However this time I got it it did not form a bubble in fact i can barely tell where it is on my arm except for a faint red aura barely visible. I have read that no wheal/ bubble means that it was done wrong, but this test was done by my primary doctor not even a nurse, and his english is not very good so it's quite hard to communicate with him. He's also the kind of doctor that kind of dismisses my concerns so i don't really know what to do right now.( He also didn't inform me of a shot I needed to take after I turned 16 and when I ask him he didn't even know what it was ) I really want this test to be accurate because someone once said i had latent tb and I had gotten a shot for it. Also is having the tb shot too deep harmful, will the tb antigen do any harm in the body when it goes in too deep? Thank you in advance!

Bad cartilage piercing at claires?Read info =)?
Please please don't go to Claires. I had my cartilage pierced there with a gun and they got the gun stuck on the jewellery and took ages to get it off which hurt like hell. Also a few weeks later it got really infected and there was a lump at the back of my ear and I had to loosen the clasp. They are not clean and are not proper piercing professionals. It wasn't until I got my nose pierced at a respected piercing salon that I found out that you are not supposed to pierce cartilage with a gun and he was surprised I didn't have more trouble with my ear cartilage piercing. Most tattoo/piercing parlours are very clean and will take you into a sterilised room to do your piercing - Claire's do it in the open in front of everyone with the equipment having lied around in the open for who knows how long and the staff aren't even properly qualified to pierce you! Tattoists/piercers have spent years learning their craft and actually have a true passion in their art - Claire's staff are just shop staff, who have had no training and have just been handed the gun and told what to do. You may not like tattoo parlours but they really are the cleanest, most professional places to get piercings done. If you don't like tattoo parlours there are places that just specialise in piercings, do you have any stores near you that specialise in body piercing jewellery? Ask around in there and see if there are other options, Claire's really isn't worth the hassle you will endure with your piercing afterwards.
Why do I feel so wrong in my own skin?

So Perhaps What you feel is something like “Skin encapsulated egos”Solutions for this type of problem is….have some fun, relax, go to church/seminar…..basically gainning motivation and do Spiritual Strengthening.Try watch this maybe it will helps:
Help! TB skin test gone wrong?!?
I would call the MD tomorrow and tell them you are worried about how this was injected. After the Mantoux / PPD tuberculosis skin test is administered, it is important that you do not touch, scratch, rub or press on the test site. Any manipluation of the test site could alter the test. You may continue with your daily personal hygiene activities, but you should avoid using ointments, lotions, and sunscreens until your healthcare provider has examined the test site.
In Gears Of War 3, what is Dom’s skin color?
Sorry, Sal Kenny, but as a confirmed Gears fanatic who’s read every book and knows every one of Delta Squad like they’re my best friends, I can tell you that, in spite of Dom’s appearance in Gears 1 and 2, he is of Hispanic ancestry.During the first 2 games Dom did seem paler, it’s true, but that was down to either the limited colour palette used by Gears 1 and 2, or the strain of continuous fighting affecting his health, depending on your perspective. But in game 3, having spent a lot of time out of doors on Vectes (read Karen Traviss’ Gears novels to better understand what happened in the gap between games 2 and 3 — some 18 months of missing story) his natural skin colour, which is similar to a Latino person but lighter, returned.
How do INTJ's read people vs INFJ's?
My brother is an INTJ while I am INFJ. Usually, we have the same opinion on people. I would say that I am more open and forgiving of people for faults, but in general, we agree on what a person's “core” is. Basically, we usually agree on whether a person is good/bad, trustworthy/untrustworthy, brave/coward, weak/strong….you get the idea.However, we arrive at these conclusions in entirely different ways. When we talk about what we think of a person, he will always have actions and facts to back up his opinion. He'll say things like “Did you notice him trying to look at her a**?” Or “He talks big, but as soon as so-and-so showed up he disappeared.” He notices every little detail, eyes, hands, silence, change of voice. He remembers things from years ago. And he is typically spot on.I, on the other hand, couldn't give you a solid reason to save my life. It's a FEELING and a KNOWING. My mom might ask what I think of a person and I'll say, “I don't like him. He seems creepy.” I won't be able to pinpoint that he was trying to look at a teenager's body, but I'll know that he made my chest tight and my skin crawl. I might not be able to say that a person quit talking when someone else arrived, but I'll know that the air between them seems tight, filled with tension.I come to the same conclusions as my brother 99.9% of the time. But he can always lay out reasons while I almost always rely on feelings. And we usually bounce our opinions off of each other as well. For me, he usually helps confirm my feelings. I don't know what sort of reassurance he takes from my opinion but I assume he gets something out of it as he does tend to ask for it.
